CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office has filed criminal
complaints against two men arrested Wesdnesday accusing them of selling a lethal
mix of heroin and fentanyl that killed a 35-year-old man this week.

Ralph and Rafael Rivera Torres II, of Cleveland, face
charges of involuntary manslaughter and several counts of drug trafficking. They are accused of causing the death of Christopher Vance, who died Tuesday in a Fulton Road apartment.

Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Thomas Gilson and Prosecutor
Timothy J. McGinty sent out warnings this week after the death and several
non-fatal overdoses were linked to a batch of heroin laced with fentanyl, which
can be up to 80 times more potent.

Gilson said this week that the mixture, referred to
as "China White" has killed dozens of people in Lorain County and in the
Pittsburgh area.

McGinty's office said they will take
the case to a Grand Jury for indictments soon.

The prosecutor, who recently kicked off
a campaign to warn the community about the dangers of heroin, had this warning
for dealers: "We will give heroin dealers who sell a lethal dose a homicide
charge, from manslaughter to murder -- whatever we can make."

Cuyahoga County Sheriff Frank Bova
asked for the public's help for information about suspected drug traffickers
and the overdoses the heroin has caused.

Bova said anonymous tips can be made to
Crime Stoppers at 216-252-7463.
